Narrative:
The runway in branson; mo; has 2 dips in it that are starting to affect safety. On runway 14 there is a dip at the 5;000' remaining marker and a dip at approximately 2;500' remaining marker. The one at the 5;000' marker is the worst of the two. When landing on runway 14 it seems as if you are being launched back in the air. On take off you get the same feeling. I have advised the branson tower about the dips. They were only aware of the 2;500' marker dip. Now they know about both.
